CTAN update: scientific-thesis-cover

Date: November 2, 2026 8:40:55 AM CET
Oliver Kopp submitted an update to the scientific-thesis-cover package. Version: 5.0.0 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Provides cover page and affirmation at the end of a thesis Announcement text:
### Changed - The cover page follows the current layout requirements of the Faculty of Computer Science: university name (or logo) on top, institute and its address as separate blocks, fixed positions for thesis type, title, author, and the examination data. The postal code is written without the "D–" prefix. - The package requires LaTeX 2020-10-01 or newer. - English cover labels follow the layout requirements: "Study program", "Advisor", "Start date", and "End date". - The options `supervisor` and `course` are now called `advisor` and `studyprogram`. The old names still work. ### Fixed - The cover page is now centered regardless of the margins set by the document class or packages such as `geometry` (e.g., with the masters-doctoral-thesis template). See [#9](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/issues/9). - A custom institute with several lines (`institute={...\\...}`) is centered line by line. See [latextemplates/scientific-thesis-template#145](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-template/issues/145). - Option values may contain `\\` and commands, e.g., a department below the institute or two advisors; `kvoptions-patch` is only needed with an older LaTeX distribution. See [#4](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/issues/4) and [#5](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/issues/5). - German declaration: "Hilfsmitel" is now spelled "Hilfsmittel". See [latextemplates/scientific-thesis-template#191](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-template/issues/191).
